Tag Archives: Jurnet’s Bar

Playing a gig with Joey Herzfeld and Chris Dowding a week or two in the fabulous medieval undercroft that is Jurnet’s Bar in Norwich, a couple of old pals came along, Ian Brownlie and Mark Howe of the brilliant immersive site-specific music / visuals thing Klanghaus. Ian did this sketch of me playing live—he called it a ‘scribble’—on his phone, and sent it to me this morning. Thank you Ian! I love it. In return, here’s a photo of us playing together in Norwich, in a band called The Last Blast, from BITD (mid-1980s I think): L-R me on bass guitar, James Edmond on drums (where are you, James?), Ian singing. The other band members not in photo: Martin Tidd and Mike Skulski, both guitars. ‘We were young, we were free!’

I play bass around Norwich in three bands currently, mostly original music. There’s a flurry of gigs coming up in early summer. Been a long time since I’ve been this busy musically, what with moving cities and jobs etc. Be lovely to see you at one if you are around here.

Friday 30 June, Jurnet’s Bar, Norwich, a short set by The Punch House Band. Doing a short set around 9.30, the numbers we recorded in the studio a week or two back. East Anglian folk music.
